fiscal cliff, china slowed down, middle east energy crisis or some other risks. i think that belongs in a number of forums. while all our executives are giving answers, i want to ask each of you what is the risk the men and women in this room should be keeping them up at night right now? >> i think there are many ironies surrounding the fiscal cliff. the fiscal cliff in the short run is the most pressing thing. the biggest most threatening is the euro crisis and ultimately either the germans will have to subsidize permanently tooled it together or else the year autozone -- eurozone. let's get our hands around the correct number, which is if we sign a long-term grand bargain budget deal, we are going to be doing the fiscal cliff every year for the next ten years, okay? so the thing that is happening in the fiscal clef is made worse by the fact it's going to happen without a lot of preparation and it isn't fully thought through if it just kicks in. but we have got to do 4 trillion over ten years of its approximately 400 billion a year. this is a business we've chos

the one issue we need to face is resource costs and energy prices. that is not a question which is being driven by overuse at the moment, it's being driven by other factors. i'm not as optimistic as stephanie is about the long-term potential path, but is there a trade-off between what we should do to protect our elderly population and to provide adequate medical care to the whole poppation and what we should do to reconstruct our infrastructure and address energy and climate issues? no. we are underperforming on both fronts. >> but there's a -- it's not a budget tear trade-off, it's -- budgetary trade-off, as long as we think revenues can only be this high, then there's a fight among those priorities. we have to accept having higher revenues to pay for the things we want. that softens that trade-off. the entitlements are not, are not a drain on real resources, they're a transfer. but there is a question of public sector investment versus what's going on in the private sector. when we're at full capacity, we have that trade-off. but the issue is, um,
